Looks like a giant model kit, doesn't it? Need the hand of God to come down with His 55 gallon drum of model cement and put it all together.

The real story is that on Sunday a friend and I will be reorganizing my garage. We're redesigning some shelves at the back of the garage and turning another set of shelves on the side of the garage into a work bench. The ultimate goal is to be able to put the Tunebug across the back of the garage so I can pull my other car in (I hate scraping the window in the winter).

I'll also wind up with a 10' x 2' work bench and lots of storage. The new work space should get me re-motivated to get the Tunebug back on his wheels.

Why heck, I can do that in two days.

Always more room when you go up. Good idea storage space.

Wish they lived closer -- I'd be done by Christmas no problem with their help.

Work on the workbench/garage rebuild went well. We got all the old shelving down and the 10'x2' bench in place, with the lumber to do the other work stacked in a corner. We eventually ran out of time and warmth so the build continues on another weekend. Tonight's (Monday) fun is clearing out enough of the scattered parts so that I can get my wife's truck back in the garage

Bad idea, As soon as you start packing things away the work on the car stops. I'd leave the boxes where they are and empty them one at a time as I assemble the car.

Just hackin on ya, nice project!

Too tired last night to lift the camera. :smile: Pics to follow tonight.

I'd have to sleep on the workbench if I did that, since I'd not be allowed back in the house...
